I think Nonis was probably looking all over the place for trade value before he did this. Kind of a last resort waivers. Obviously he wouldn't waive the guy if he could get so much as a 7th round pick. Wouldn't shock me if nobody bit on Connolly. I wouldn't of. I wouldn't of signed him the day Burke did either. Just because plan A (Richards) doesn't work out doesn't mean plan B (Connolly) is a great option. Another amazing Burke signing. Shmell ya Tiny Tim we won't miss ya.

Okay first off how do we make new threads? I have been wondering for the longest time and don't know how.

Secondly I love this move, get him out, bye Tim you won't be missed.

Clears up space, clears up a roster spot for a kid and most importantly gets that contract out of here and cap hit. I think some other team will grab him to be honest. Possibly NYI hell maybe even Vancouver who needs extra bodies.

The line-up still doesn't work for me. Something's gotta give. I'd really like to see:

Kulemin-Grabo-Komarov.
JVR-Kadri-Frattin

I'm not huge on Bozak (I really think he's the best of our bad 1st line center options), Lupul, Stekel, Connolly (who's hopefully gone). McArthur to me is a 3rd liner at best. He's filled in admirably, but his point totals, are to me, more a result of his increased TOI and special teams ice time. Also, I'd be alright with moving Colborne as well. Not really fair to say that at this point, but, I don't know how integral it is to have a non-physical 6'5 3rd line center.
